Written and executive produced by “No Ordinary Family” team Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “The Flash”) and Ali Adler (“Chuck,” “Glee”), with Sarah Schechter (“Pan”) also executive producing, “Supergirl” will focus on a 24-year-old Kara, who works as an assistant to Grant at her global company, CatCo.

However, Kara is ready to stop hiding her powers and become a hero.

The addition of Golden Globe-winning actress Flockhart (“Ally McBeal,” “Brothers & Sisters”) to the show’s cast was confirmed by Warner Bros. Television on Monday.

“Supergirl” also will feature actor Mehcad Brooks (“True Blood,” “Desperate Housewives”) as Jimmy Olsen — the character will not work as a young photographer in the Daily Planet newsroom, but rather with Kara at CatCo.

Laura Benanti (“Nashville,” “Nurse Jackie”) will have a recurring role as Kara’s mother, Alura Zor-El.

The series won’t be Supergirl’s first time on screen; Helen Slater played the character in the critically panned 1984 film “Supergirl,” which also starred Faye Dunaway. More recently, Laura Vandervoort portrayed Kara Zor-El in “Smallville,” the Superman origin series on the CW.
